World Mother’s Day

Childhood is the foundation of future life. The mother has a major role to play in strengthening this foundation and building it as the ideal child of the future. Only a conscious, wise mother can teach her child to be the right person. A child’s greatest companion is its mother. The mother is not only a birth mother, but also an artisan of making beautiful children.

May 14 is considered as World Mother’s Day. This day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year. As such, this year (May 14, Sunday) the day was celebrated with due dignity all over the world through various programs.

The whole life has to go on with the morality, intelligence and physical education received from the mother. As life goes on, many events-learning-experience combinations occur. But the main foundation is the education received from the mother. Based on this foundation, every ordinary person becomes an ideal personality. She took the responsibility of building the society. The first condition of society is bondage. Society is formed by mutual bond and the first lesson of this social bond comes mainly from the family. It’s not just that we have to show love to our mother on Mother’s Day. Love for mother must be followed at all times because just as Mother laid down her life for the betterment of our lives, so must we.

Respect and love to all mothers on this very Mother’s Day. In fact, there is no alternative to mother, there is no one like mother in this world who truly love.

Protect Dhaka’s air from pollution

Bangladesh has been experiencing high levels of air pollution in the last couple of years which has led to a significant impact on people’s health. As per a Health Report, air pollution has become the 2nd leading health risk factor after high blood pressure in our country. According to Air Quality Study, Bangladesh was among the top 10 countries with the highest outdoor PM 2.5 (particulate matter) levels in recent years. Country’s air is becoming increasingly poisonous in the absence of effective measures to control the release of pollutants.

In Bangladesh, people suffer from the worst air quality in the months of November, December, January and February. As it has been a growing tension, the concerned authority need urgent and sustained action to initiate comprehensive focus on reducing air pollution in order to afford clean air for country dwellers.
